2019 Map of Glen Richey

About this map

Clearfield Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Clearfield Cr and Wallace Run, carve a complex network of valleys through this part of the Appalachian Plateaus. In this modern survey, the landscape is defined by its rural heritage and industrial history, evidenced by the presence of numerous small settlements such as Glen Richey, Oshanter, and Faunce. The northern reach is bounded by the West Branch Susquehanna River, which flows near Curwensville. Genealogy researchers will find substantial value in the high density of documented burial sites, ranging from the large Crown Crest Memorial Park to smaller, local plots like Pine Grove Bethel Cem, Thompson Cem, and Baughman Cem. The local road network, including the Old Erie Pike, connects these communities and landmarks across terrain marked by named heights like Whiskey Hill and Turkey Hill. The map also illustrates the legacy of land use in the region, with labels such as Stripping Rd hinting at the area's coal mining history.
